Why is Pang De, the behind the scenes hero of Ma Chao, admired by Guan Yu and Pang De?

Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-19

There is an old saying in China, called: "A bucket of water does not shake, half a bucket of water jingles", this sentence can be said to be very classic, its meaning is also very simple, that is, those who are really capable are generally silent, on the contrary, those who are not strong in ability, but very arrogant.

In fact, similar in the Three Kingdoms period, there were many generals like Pan Feng and Xing Daorong. No one can brag about it, but they don't really learn it at all. In the entire Three Kingdoms, if you talk about having a big voice and strong ability, I think it must be the martial saint Guan Yu.

Guan Yu's life was extremely high-profile, when the White Horse relieved the siege of Cao Cao, facing Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang, Guan Yu said: "This person is just inserting a bid to sell the head, so there is nothing to worry about." Cao Cao, who was on the side at that time, was a little unaccustomed to it, and persuaded Guan Yu to say, "Yun Chang, don't underestimate the enemy!."”

Although Cao Cao persuaded him with good words, Guan Yu did not take Cao Cao's words to heart at all. directly dragged the knife on the horse, went straight into Yan Liang's camp, caught Yan Liang off guard, and successfully beheaded him. In the same way, Wen Chou was also defeated by Guan Yu in this way.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou are the two of the four court pillars in Hebei, and their martial arts are even more unbeatable in the world. And Guan Yu was just an unknown person at that time, but Guan Yu was not a disciple of Pan Feng and Xing Daorong. The second master is indeed capable, not only can he successfully kill the enemy general, but he can also retreat with his whole body, and more importantly, he can leave his name in history.

Guan Yu's life, after five passes and six generals, the white horse retreated to Yan Liang, Xiangshui was captured in the ban, and Pang De was beheaded, which can be said to be a legendary figure. So, how high is Guan Yu's force?If, there was no reconciliation letter from Zhuge Liang at that time, Guan Yu entered Sichuan to fight Ma Chao, he could really win, Xiliang "Jin Ma Chao"?

In 214 AD, in order to defeat Liu Zhang in one fell swoop, Liu Bei planned to form an alliance with Ma Chao, in other words, he wanted to use Ma Chao's power to force Liu Zhang to surrender without a fight. The dictionary said: The news is superb, and the joy is said:"I've benefited from the state. "It is to make people stop surpassing, and to lurk in the army. , look at this benevolent and righteous monarch Liu Bei, in fact, he also has his own little abacus.

Liu Bei gave Ma Chao soldiers and horses at that time, and asked Ma Chao to attack Liu Zhang. Sure enough, Liu Zhang was afraid of Ma Chao's might and soon surrendered. Since then, Ma Chao has defected to Liu Bei, and it can be said that the reason why Liu Bei got Yizhou is that Ma Chao also made a lot of efforts.

However, Ma Chao helped Liu Bei to build a turf in Sichuan, and he didn't know about Guan Yu, who was guarding Jingzhou. Therefore, after Liu Bei was crowned the Five Tiger Generals, he was most unaccustomed to Ma Chao, except for Huang Zhong. Because, in Guan Yu's opinion, Ma Chao is not qualified to be tied with him at all, and Huang Zhong back then could at least tie with him.

And Ma Chao, this person seems to only be opportunistic, and he doesn't have much real skills at all. Therefore, Guan Yu heard that Ma Chao defected to Liu Bei and was also named the General of the Five Tigers, Guan Yu felt very uncomfortable, so he wrote to Zhuge Liang and said that he wanted to enter Sichuan to test his martial arts with Ma Chao to see if Ma Chao was not under Lu Bu as Cao Cao said

When Zhuge Liang read Guan Yu's letter, he understood that Guan Yu actually wanted to find a sense of existence, Guan Yu hurt Ma Chao Liu Bei would not be happy, and in the same way, Ma Chao did not dare to offend Guan Yu. After all, under the fence, you have to be low when you should bow your head. In fact, Ma Chao was very pitiful at this time, and Zhuge Liang thought of a way at that time, that is, to reply a letter to Guan Yu on behalf of Liu Bei.

Regarding the content of the letter, it is also mentioned in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms".

Romance of the Three Kingdoms": Liang Zhiyu guarded the front, and replied: "Meng Qi is both civil and military, heroic, the master of the first generation, the disciple of Huang and Peng, when he and Yide are driven to be the first, and they are still not as good as the peerless Yiqun." ”

The content of the letter is probably to praise Guan Yu, and say that Ma Chao has a draw with Zhang Fei at most, and he is not your opponent at all. When Guan Yu received Zhuge Liang's reply, he asked his subordinates to copy dozens of handwritten letters in Jingzhou and let the guests circulate them one after another. Guan Yu just gave up, if Zhuge Liang didn't mediate, and Ma Chao didn't care about Guan Yu's identity, the two of them really fought, who would win?

In real history, Guan Yu actually didn't really fight with Ma Chao, but it can be predicted from Guan Yu's fight with Pang De. Pang De was the first general under Ma Chao's account that year, and his bravery was outstanding. However, when Ma Chao decided to defect to Liu Bei, Pang De abandoned Ma Chao, in Pang De's later words, he thought that Ma Chao was too ruthless, abandoned his wife and children before, and ignored the family members of the three clans.

In Pound's eyes, Ma Chao is just a brave and unscrupulous person. Therefore, Pang De defected to Cao Cao's account. In 219 AD, after Liu Bei and Cao Cao fought the last battle of their lives in Hanzhong, Guan Yu waited for an opportunity to send troops from Jingzhou, with the intention of collecting Xiangfan and knocking Cao Cao's important town in the Central Plains.

At first, Guan Yu's soldiers were very fast, and they quickly surrounded Cao Ren. And to make Cao Ren the turtle in Wengzhong, Guan Yu's move has two main purposes, the first is to seize the land of Xiangfan, and the second is to solve Liu Bei's military pressure in Hanzhong. Sure enough, Cao Cao quickly divided his troops to rescue Cao Ren.

Cao Cao sent Yu Ban, one of the five good generals, and also assigned Yu Ban a general, who was the pioneer general Pang De before Ma Chao.

This expedition, Pang De was actually quite difficult, he was suspected by the leader Yu Ban, so Pang De's old boss, Ma Chao, now defected to Liu Bei, and his brother Pang Rou was also an official under Liu Bei. After Cao Cao heard about this, he was also quite skeptical, but Pang De said to Cao Cao: "I often receive the grace of the country, and righteousness is in the service of death, how can he think?"So Cao Cao continued to let Pang De serve as the vanguard general.

When he came to the front of the battle, Pang De personally ordered someone to carry the coffin and fight with Guan Yu in front of the battle. Guan Yu was also very angry when he saw Pang De in such a position, so he personally stepped forward to fight Pang De. Delun knife to welcome. There are more than 100 battles between the two generals, and the spirit is doubled. The two armies were dumbfounded. Later, the two sides each withdrew their troops, and the first battle was a warm-up.

After returning to the camp, Guan Yu also quietly said to Guan Ping, "Pang De is familiar with swordsmanship, and he is really my opponent." This is what Guan Yu said, the second master is already old at this time, but this may be the most low-key sentence he has said since the battle.

In the same way, after Pang De returned to the army, he and Yu Ban also said such a sentence: "People say that Guan Gong is a hero, and today Fang believes in it." Judging from the private conversation between Pang De and Guan Yu, they have indeed met an opponent, which is also something to be thankful for.

A few days later, Pang De again led his troops and horses to engage Guan Yu. This time, Pang De knew that if he wanted to win Guan Yu head-on, it might not be so easy. So, Pang De first came up to fight Guan Yu, and after about 50 rounds, he fled in defeat. In the process of escaping, the red rabbit that Guan Yu is riding, he will definitely pursue desperately, so as long as Guan Yu is chasing, shoot it with a sharp arrow.

Pang thief!If I want to use a sword, am I afraid of you?However, at this time, Pound had already prepared his own sharp arrows, plus his Xiliang background, he had long Xi the ability to wear Yang in a hundred steps. Take the arrow, shoot the future, and hit Guan Yu's forehead. If it weren't for the good quality of the helmet, Guan Yu would have been taken down by Pang De at this time. Fight with the feather and shoot the feather in the forehead. Judging from this historical data, it proves that Pound is not only good at swordsmanship, but also accurate in his archery. With Pang De's power, he can be on a par with Huang Zhong.

In fact, judging from the fight between Pang De and Guan Yu, it is easy to conclude Guan Yu's force value at this time, if he really fights with Ma Chao, he will definitely be a loser. Xiliang people are good at bows and arrows, even if they don't use bows and arrows, Ma Chao will not lose to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu wanted to compete with Ma Chao at that time, but it was around 215 AD, and then he fought with Pang De in 219, and there was a difference of about 4 years. However, for Guan Yu, his martial arts have not improved in the slightest. If it was 4 years ago, I would have fought against Ma Chao. At most, it was just a draw, after all, Ma Chao was much younger than Guan Yu at this time.

Regardless of all the situation and stakes, if Ma Chao really fights with Guan Yu, Ma Chao will definitely win in the end. Just imagine, Pang De is just a vanguard general under Ma Chao's account, and he can still fight with Guan Yu in hundreds of moves, not to mention his leader Ma Chao.

You must know that as the Shenwei general of the Xiliang people, Ma Chao is not only proficient in marksmanship, swordsmanship, but also the method of riding and shooting. Comprehensive combat effectiveness, Ma Chao must be above Guan Yu. Back then, Ma Chao easily had a draw with Zhang Fei without using any other auxiliary weapons, you must know that at that time, under Jia Meng, Ma Chao first came from a long distance, and then waited for several hours. Even so, he can easily deal with Zhang Fei, what does this mean?

Among the Three Kingdoms, I am afraid that in addition to Zhao Yun, Lu Bu can have such strength. 】
